Directions

Prep 10 minCook 30 min
  1. 1

    Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

  2. 2

    While the rice is cooking, blend the mole sauce and chicken broth in a blender until smooth. Pour the mixture into a 12-inch skillet and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Add the chicken to the skillet, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered, turning the chicken once, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, about 15 minutes. The sauce will thicken slightly.

  4. 4

    Garnish the dish with sesame seeds before serving.
